“The imaginary 'climate emergency' is over,” the Climate Information Group (Klintel), a group of researchers and scientists from Europe and North America, declared in a communiqué last week.
The group met at an international scientific conference in Prague, Czech Republic, while the United Nations climate change conference COP29 was being held in Baku, Azerbaijan. In August 2023, Klintel boldly declared that “there is no climate emergency.”
Seventeen scientists and researchers, including CO2 Coalition Executive Director Gregory Lightstone, signed the communiqué, which was a rhetorical criticism of the COP29 gathering.
Global warming is a good thing
The group acknowledged that there has been some warming since the end of the Little Ice Age, but noted that warmer temperatures and more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are good for the planet. The Ice Age of the Little Ice Age brought net benefits to humanity. ”
Additionally, they found that “an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere for the foreseeable future will also likely be a net benefit.”
Klintel went on to argue that the sun, not greenhouse gases, is the main cause of atmospheric warming, saying, “The sun, not greenhouse gases, contributes and will continue to contribute by far the vast majority of global temperatures. I will continue.”
Despite stoking fears of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, the signatories argue there is no reason to believe that apocalyptic climate collapse is imminent.
According to the document, “There is broad agreement among the scientific community that the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme weather events are not increasing and are unlikely to increase in the future.”
wasted effort
Moreover, scientists believe that the exorbitant amount of global wealth being spent on the so-called climate crisis is wasteful, unnecessary, and will do little, if any, to reduce global temperatures. declared. “Even if all countries, but not primarily Western countries, moved directly and collaboratively from their current trajectory towards net-zero emissions by the official target year of 2050, global warming would be halted by that year.” “The temperature increase will be at most 0.05 to 0.1 degrees Celsius,” the communiqué said.
Not only are wind and solar power unable to meet global electricity demand, they can also be harmful to the environment.
Because wind and solar power are costly, intermittent, and cause more environmental damage per TWh produced than any other energy source, governments have stopped subsidizing and prioritizing them, replacing them with coal, gas, Above all else, nuclear power generation should be expanded. ”
The scientists also declared that the United Nations' International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is an institution unfit to oversee scientific research on climate change and called for its dissolution.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has excluded participants and published papers that disagree with its claims, is not adhering to its own misreporting protocols, and has drawn some disingenuous conclusions. It should be demolished.
Attendees at COP29 are demanding that the world's countries spend more of their resources and time on solving the imagined climate crisis, but there is a world out there that rejects these fanciful notions and dedicates them to propaganda. It's good to know that there are still honest scientists and researchers willing to state the facts instead.
